Description from Steam STEAM

What should a man do after losing everything—family, friends, wealth, the opportunity to inherit a family title? With nothing to lose but his life, he can either humbly accept his plight or grasp with an iron grip any chance for salvation, ready to tear his enemies apart with his bare hands or even teeth. Our hero, faced with a desperate situation, refuses to submit to fate and uses any means necessary to tip the scales in his favor. Bribery and extortion, threats, violence, murder and arson. The former noble no longer cares about the honor of the family, so he will do whatever it takes to pay the bills and stay alive. Experience the life of a mercenary guild owner, where there’s little room for selflessness, valor, or heroism. Join him on the journey from suffering to triumph—or to an ignominious death.

Combat and Tactics

Experience an engaging combat system where battles unfold with indirect control. While participants take turns and select their own targets, you can adjust each mercenary's tactics at any moment. Master the art of combining fighters and strategies to minimize losses—after all, the dead will not yield profit.

Choices and Consequences

Many abilities come in handy when working for the Guild: diplomacy, a sense of humor, and the willingness to get your hands dirty. The game features over 150 unique tasks and events. Choosing one path or another affect many aspects of the story, including the characters you encounter, the Guild's reputation and fame, and unlocking new plot branches and opportunities.

Hero Management

Manage your mercenaries wisely—an unreliable fighter can be worse than a dead one. Loyalty varies based on each character’s personality and your decisions. Not all mercenaries will be eager to intimidate the defenseless or rescue the innocent. Your heroes gain experience, improve their stats, and learn new combat skills. Equip them with trophies or purchased gear, but remember: don’t give an expensive sword to a mediocre fighter until they’ve proven their worth.

Economy

Running a Guild is costly. You'll need to carefully manage salaries, equipment, bribes, and church donations. Proper financial management is crucial—late payments can severely damage mercenary loyalty. Initially, you’ll work to build your reputation, but soon, your reputation will start working for you. Support from other organizations and influential figures will help secure new contracts and unlock rewards like faster recovery, better equipment, and additional tasks.
